Indo-Pak War 1965 (Pictures Only)

[SarthakGanguly]

this Australian paper doesnt agree with Indian claim.. I thought Indians rolled through Pakistan up to Uganda..

We Indians wish you a thousand similar victories in battle. Keep 1965-ing/Grand Slamming.
Who knows, after a a few, there may not be a Pakistan left to win against us.

On the same token...What did Pakistan win?

I suppose the Aussies must be basing this on the sq. kms of land captured in war before ceasefire...that must be it!

hmm good question,.. lost the bet maybe? to have a drink in Lahore Jimkhana? or was it the pride?

Hmm...I was under the impression the war was over Kashmir...
Lahore wasn't part of the bet, no?

I suppose pride does take a toll Sir, when you start out trying to annex Kashmir but end up having to defend Lahore!

Interesting Read...

A newspaper article from Australia, a destroyed economy, Indian artillery on the outskirts of Lahore, loss of the Haji Pir pass and a binocular eye view of the Highway to Kashmir.

Point to be noted here. Pakistan was a part of SEATO at that time, as was Australia. Just like CENTO, it was brokered by US, which was an ally of Pakistan. We just saw that influence trickle down in the Australian newspapers. India at that time was holding hands with Nasser Hussein of Egypt, part of NAM. I must say, Pakistan had it pretty much well covered those days, diplomatically.

Pakistani tanks from 1965!! We have 3 of those parked in Meerut cantonment, one of them was parked right in front of my old house and i used to wait for my school bus perched on top of it dreaming all sorts of patriotic things and bravery of Indian soldiers. Brought back some good old memories!
Thank you guys.

Sorry mate you will not be there neither your kin, but Pakistan is here to stay. If Pakistan will not be there then we will make sure to take our Indian Baniyas along with us.

I like soothsayers. I am always intrigued by their ability of fortune telling.

I may have read this wrongly, but he just advocated more "65s...aka..Victory for Pakistan no?
Granted he was being sarcastic, but I don't think he called for destruction of Pakistan...

Nevertheless, Im not here to defend anyone....You might be right in your own way..

It hurts because "1965 Pak victory" was infact destruction of Pakistani mard e momin army's pride and even @HttpError knows it, thats why he doesn't want repeat of 1965 even in his dreams.
'71 was just an icing on the cake, but the reason Bangladesh's freedom was achieved so easily was the inability of Pakistan to get out of its 1965 stupor. A already defeated and dejected nation was hard pressed to muster courage to face Indian forces resulting in - check my profile pic :p

That may be the case, but Pakistanis need to get this notion out of their head that destroying India is a victory...

Suicide is not winning...there is no victory if you've lost everything..
